Can I get paid for people printing my photos?May 14, 2008 11:20 AMSubscribe

Are there any websites that allow you to upload photos and get paid for people printing them?

I got the inspiration from www.photobox.com where users can order prints of other peoples photos but I was wondering whether there is a service where the owner of the photo gets paid, aswell as the website.
Any ideas?

Imagekind also lets you sell prints online, and integrates with your Flickr account (if you have one). I've been meaning to check it out, but haven't yet.posted by whitelight at 11:49 AM on May 14, 2008

Upon a brief perusal, it looks like cutcaster is about buying rights to an image, not a physical print of the image.posted by DevilsAdvocate at 12:33 PM on May 14, 2008

Smugmug is likely the most well thought out, experienced and trafficked of the print sales sites. Plus they treat your files as though they are rare antiquities of unimaginable value (many layers of redundant storage, etc.)

It's a favorite of wedding photographers and event photographers.posted by bz at 12:46 PM on May 14, 2008

I've bought cards made from pictures uploaded by people registered on Photostockplus.com. I sent them an email to ask about delivery time when they didn't show up in about 2 weeks. They immediately replied to tell me they were shipping another order. The original order showed up later that day (of course!) and I emailed them to let them know. I don't know if they couldn't, or didn't, stop the second order but I got it a few days later for no charge.posted by nelvana at 6:33 PM on May 14, 2008
